Deuteronomy Chapter 21 - King James Strong Number Version

1: If [one] be found <H4672> slain <H2491> in the land <H0127> which the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> giveth <H5414> thee to possess <H3423> it, lying <H5307> in the field, <H7704> [and] it be not known <H3045> who hath slain <H5221> him:
2: Then thy elders <H2205> and thy judges <H8199> shall come forth, <H3318> and they shall measure <H4058> unto the cities <H5892> which [are] round about <H5439> him that is slain: <H2491>
3: And it shall be, [that] the city <H5892> [which is] next <H7138> unto the slain man, <H2491> even the elders <H2205> of that city <H5892> shall take <H3947> an heifer, <H1241> <H5697> which hath not been wrought <H5647> with, [and] which hath not drawn <H4900> in the yoke; <H5923>
4: And the elders <H2205> of that city <H5892> shall bring down <H3381> the heifer <H5697> unto a rough <H0386> valley, <H5158> which is neither eared <H5647> nor sown, <H2232> and shall strike off the heifer's <H5697> neck <H6202> there in the valley: <H5158>
5: And the priests <H3548> the sons <H1121> of Levi <H3878> shall come near; <H5066> for them the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> hath chosen <H0977> to minister <H8334> unto him, and to bless <H1288> in the name <H8034> of the LORD; <H3068> and by their word <H6310> shall every controversy <H7379> and every stroke <H5061> be [tried]:
6: And all the elders <H2205> of that city, <H5892> [that are] next <H7138> unto the slain <H2491> [man], shall wash <H7364> their hands <H3027> over the heifer <H5697> that is beheaded <H6202> in the valley: <H5158>
7: And they shall answer <H6030> and say, <H0559> Our hands <H3027> have not shed <H8210> this blood, <H1818> neither have our eyes <H5869> seen <H7200> [it].
8: Be merciful, <H3722> O LORD, <H3068> unto thy people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> whom thou hast redeemed, <H6299> and lay <H5414> not innocent <H5355> blood <H1818> unto thy people <H5971> of Israel's <H3478> charge. <H7130> And the blood <H1818> shall be forgiven <H3722> them.
9: So shalt thou put away <H1197> the [guilt of] innocent <H5355> blood <H1818> from among <H7130> you, when thou shalt do <H6213> [that which is] right <H3477> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD. <H3068>
10: When thou goest forth <H3318> to war <H4421> against thine enemies, <H0341> and the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> hath delivered <H5414> them into thine hands, <H3027> and thou hast taken <H7617> them captive, <H7628>
11: And seest <H7200> among the captives <H7633> a beautiful <H8389> <H3303> woman, <H0802> and hast a desire <H2836> unto her, that thou wouldest have <H3947> her to thy wife; <H0802>
12: Then thou shalt bring <H0935> her home to <H8432> thine house; <H1004> and she shall shave <H1548> her head, <H7218> and pare <H6213> her nails; <H6856>
13: And she shall put <H5493> the raiment <H8071> of her captivity <H7628> from off her, and shall remain <H3427> in thine house, <H1004> and bewail <H1058> her father <H0001> and her mother <H0517> a full month: <H3391> <H3117> and after <H0310> that thou shalt go in <H0935> unto her, and be her husband, <H1166> and she shall be thy wife. <H0802>
14: And it shall be, if thou have no delight <H2654> in her, then thou shalt let her go <H7971> whither she will; <H5315> but thou shalt not sell <H4376> her at all <H4376> for money, <H3701> thou shalt not make merchandise <H6014> of her, because <H0834> thou hast humbled <H6031> her.
15: If a man <H0376> have two <H8147> wives, <H0802> one <H0259> beloved, <H0157> and another <H0259> hated, <H8130> and they have born <H3205> him children, <H1121> [both] the beloved <H0157> and the hated; <H8130> and [if] the firstborn <H1060> son <H1121> be hers that was hated: <H8146>
16: Then it shall be, when <H3117> he maketh his sons <H1121> to inherit <H5157> [that] which he hath, [that] he may <H3201> not make the son <H1121> of the beloved <H0157> firstborn <H1069> before <H6440> the son <H1121> of the hated, <H8130> [which is indeed] the firstborn: <H1060>
17: But he shall acknowledge <H5234> the son <H1121> of the hated <H8130> [for] the firstborn, <H1060> by giving <H5414> him a double <H8147> portion <H6310> of all that he hath: <H4672> for he [is] the beginning <H7225> of his strength; <H0202> the right <H4941> of the firstborn <H1062> [is] his.
18: If a man <H0376> have a stubborn <H5637> and rebellious <H4784> son, <H1121> which will not obey <H8085> the voice <H6963> of his father, <H0001> or the voice <H6963> of his mother, <H0517> and [that], when they have chastened <H3256> him, will not hearken <H8085> unto them:
19: Then shall his father <H0001> and his mother <H0517> lay hold <H8610> on him, and bring him out <H3318> unto the elders <H2205> of his city, <H5892> and unto the gate <H8179> of his place; <H4725>
20: And they shall say <H0559> unto the elders <H2205> of his city, <H5892> This our son <H1121> [is] stubborn <H5637> and rebellious, <H4784> he will not obey <H8085> our voice; <H6963> [he is] a glutton, <H2151> and a drunkard. <H5433>
21: And all the men <H0582> of his city <H5892> shall stone <H7275> him with stones, <H0068> that he die: <H4191> so shalt thou put evil <H7451> away <H1197> from among <H7130> you; and all Israel <H3478> shall hear, <H8085> and fear. <H3372>
22: And if a man <H0376> have committed a sin <H2399> worthy <H4941> of death, <H4194> and he be to be put to death, <H4191> and thou hang <H8518> him on a tree: <H6086>
23: His body <H5038> shall not remain <H3885> all night upon the tree, <H6086> but thou shalt in any wise <H6912> bury <H6912> him that day; <H3117> (for he that is hanged <H8518> [is] accursed <H7045> of God;) <H0430> that thy land <H0127> be not defiled, <H2930> which the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> giveth <H5414> thee [for] an inheritance. <H5159>
